A Doctors Death.

JERSEY CITY, June 24.-Dr. John O.
Bird, one of the best known citizens and
physicians in Jersey City, died this
morning of blood poisoning. A
few days ago an Italian was struck by
train on the Pennsylvania railroa d.
Both legs were broken and he was
taken to the hospital. His wound
seemed to be within the control of the
physicians, but he grew steadily
weaker, and after he had died DR..
Bird, who was one of the hospital
surgeons, made post mortem exami-
nation of his remains. When, after
the examination, DR.. Bird washed his
hands, he noticed for the first time a
small cut on one of his fingers. He
washed it carefully with carbolic
acid, and gave the matter no further
attention. The next day he attended
a meeting Of the hospital staff, but
was fevcrish and became so i'll that
he had to leave for home. His finger
began to swell and DR.. Varick, who
called, cut it open and tried to prevent
the poison from the corpse from
spreading through the patients sys-
tenn. 1t was too late, however. The
incubation had been accomplished
and the doctor fingered between life
and death until this morning.

sault was made upon Conductor Buck
ley, of the Iowa Il Minnesota division
of the Milwaukee road. A man named
William Tretten boarded Buckley's
accommodation train at apoint beyond
Grafton, Iowa. The conductor found
Tretten stealing ride and compelled
him to pay his fare to Grafton. Tret-
ten was very indignant, and when
allghting at Grafton swore that he
would murder the conductor upon his
return to that place. Mr.. Buckley
paid little attention to the threat.
When the train returned to Grafton
and Conductor Buckley stepped upon
the platform, Tretten, without word
of warning, rushed upon Buckley with
an open razor in his hand The rutfian
aimed at the conductors head, but the
latter lodged the blow Before 1ret-
ten could be overpowered he made
another lungc for the conductor, and
reached the thigh, cutting deep cash
several inches in length. Tretten was
captured, and is now under guard OF
the marshal and several employees of
the Milwaukee road. Mr.. Buckley
suffered great loss of blood, but was

Six Months Enough.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The secre-
tary of the interior has refused to ap-
prove the recommendation made by
commissioner Sparks that the pre-emp-
tion period of residence be increased
from six months to twelve months.
Referring to this matter. the law Off
Ger who decided the matter today said:
We considered the matter fully, and
finally decided to keep the rules as
they stand now, that the residence pc
riod shall not be less than six months,
and allow ourselves margin in our de-
cisions. The fact is that actual resi-
dence is not what the law demands in
pre-emption entries. 1t is not contem-
plated that man who buys the land
from the government at a fair price
shall be hampered by any restrictions
as to what he shall do with the land.
When the government gives man a
home stead it makes it a free gift, with
the intention that the man shall make
it homestead for himself.

berry was made at the house of Sam
Beed last night at IL o'clock. Reed

ARMOUR.

ARMOUR, June 23.-This part of
Douglas county was visited by a
drenching rain last night, the rain con.
tinuing the greater part of the night
Some Of the crops are badly dam
aged by the drouth, yet the majority
will be greatly benefited by the rain.
Armour is making extensive prepar-
ations for celebrating the nations
birthday and at the same time her
own. Bradstreet gives us a population
of 5O8. How many towns can make a
more favorable showing at one year.
Our program for July 4th has
amongst other features speech from
General Hugh Campbell at II a. m. In
his letter of acceptance, he outlines to
some extent, his speech on that day.
While speaking of National independ-
ence it will be most fitting to show the
ingratitude of the nations right for
which she herself had to struggle so
hard. He also says he will give some
attention to the newspapers that have
criticised him so severely.
Some of the other attractions of the
day are several races for which liberal
prizes are offered; a base ball tourna-
ment, etc. 1000 Indians will be pres
! ent in aboriginal costume and war
paint, and will give complete exem-
plitication of savage life.
Armour lodge X. of p. was instituted
on last Friday evening by H. E. Gates
and delegation of Knights from
Kimball. About midnight the work
was interrupted long enough to
go to the Merchants hotel and partake
of banquet, prepared for the occa-
sion; and, judging from the noise and
laughter, the boys enjoyed themselves
right well. The lodge starts out with
the largest charter membership Of any
lodge in Dakota.
A new $4,000 Touring mill is to be
commenced here soon.
The new P. d. Armour hotel is near
ing completion.

His Skull Crushed,

CLEVELAND, June pa mysterious
murder was committed here last night.
Benjamin Frazee, aged sixty, and
night watchman at the foundry of r..
C. Austin & Co., on Central way, was
the victim. About 6 o'clock this morn
ing Frank Nowak went to the foundry
to relieve Frazee. Not seeing the old
man when he first arrived, Nowalk in
stituted search and soon found him
lying on bench near the furnace with
the back of his head crushed. He was
Just able to breath, but could give no
account of his injuries. The affair is
shrouded in mystery. Frazee was not
known to have had any enemies, and
had had no trouble with anybody. His
weeks pay, which he drew last night,
was in his pocket, undisturbed. The
police have slight clue upon which
they are working.

The Rai,road Commission.

ABERDEEN, June 22.-Hon. Alex
Griggs, Abe Boynton and NC. Smith,
Dakota railroad commissioners, have
located q station on the Milwaukee
road between Andover and Langford,
where farmers complained the distance
was too far between stations. Jewett
Brothers, wholesale grocers, entered
complaint against the Milwaukee road
for discrimination in rates. The
present rate from st. Paul is the same
to points seventy and eighty miles be-
yond as to this place. The local dis
tance tariff makes rates to these points
so high as to practically kill jobbing
business here. Relief is asked. The
commissioners will soon meet In BIS
marck and consult with Gov. Church
and attorney general Templeton re.
garding enforcement of the grain and
warehouse bills.

Crops and the Weather.

CHICAGO, June 22.-The following is
the weekly crop summary printed by
the Farmers Review: At this date of
writing the winter wheat crop in all
sections has so nearly reached state
of maturity that reports show no
change in its condition, and none will
take place unless hail, insects or rust
should damage the ripening grain.
Eight winter wheat growing states re-
port an average condition of the crop
at S9per cent. Our reports on its condi-
tion in the different states is as follows:
Twenty counties in Illinois report an
average condition of SO per cent. In
sects and drought are little complained
of. Eight counties in Indiana report
the condition at 81 per cent.
Kansas counties report no improve
ment in the crop. Damage by in
sects is very serious in Marshall,
Smith, Franklin and Neosho coun-
ties. Kentucky reports an average
condition of 96 per cent, with damage
by insects in Harden county. Michi-
gan reports an average condition of 90
per cent. Missouri counties report an
average condition at 100 per cent.
Ten counties in Ohio report an average
conition Of 68 per cent. Seven coun-
ties in Wisconsin place the average at
SO per cent, with damage by chinch
bugs in Portage county. The condl-
tion of spring wheat in the different
states is as follows: Wisconsin coun-
ties report an average condition at GO
per cent; seventeen counties in Iowa
place the average at "a per cent; eleven
Minnesota counties report an average
of 81 per cent; nine Nebraska counties
place the average at 80 per cent, and
six counties in Dakota report an aver
age of 80 per cent. The condition of
the oat crop from drouth and insects
is everywhere below the average. Corn
prospects are first class. Hay and
grass short from drouth. The
fruit prospects are fair.

guilty against McGarigle and McDon.
aid. The penalty was fixed at three
years in the penitentiary. When
Judge Shepherd resumed his sea;
on the bench in response to notice that
the jury had agreed upon verdict,
only couple Of attorneys were present,
the others not expecting verdict so
soon, and very few people were in the
court room. When the verdict was
rendered the defendants seemed for a
few moments stunned, but recovered
their composure. a motion for new
trial was atonce entered by the defense
Judge Shepherd said he would hear ar
gument at some future time, and not
withstanding theprotest of Defendants,
the judge declined to admit Mcdonald
or McMarigle to bail. The decision on
this point fell with crushing effect up
on the defendants, their counsel and
friends. The convicted men were
taken to the county Jail.
McGarigle and Mcdonald received
no visitors up to this morning, bu,
after partaking of breakfast sat in the
library of the Jail to read the morning
papers and await the hour when the
hearing of the motion for their release
or bail will occur. McGarigle
stands the confinement badly. He is
pale and looks worried and nervous
totally different from his usual dispo
sition. His companion, Mcdonald
takes his medicine more philosophic
ally. He is calm and collected and NJ
one would guess that he is much wor
ried.

pearance, giving promise to large
yield. In Cass and Trail counties
grain is looking finely, fully up to the
average condition of previous years.
In Grand Forks county little more
rain in the vicinity Of Larimore and
westward toward Devils lake would
be beneficial, though the rain of some
two weeks ago greatly improved the
crop outlook. From Devils lake to
Minot there has been an abundance of
rain, and all kinds of grain look we'll.
In Pierce, McHenry, Ward and Bot

last season. lessened the yield some

tion, and give assurance of an abund-
ant harvest.

WOONSOCKET.

WooNsocKET, June 22.-During the
progress of the Solomon murder trial
yesterday afternoon, the prisoner
created somewhat of a sensation by
interrupting the attorney for the prose-
cutien and emphatically declaring
that he (the prisoner plead guilty to
the charge as made in the Indictment
Defendants attorney choked him off
and the case was continued. The
prisoners father and mother arrived
on last evenings train.
p. G. Dillon last evening received a
card from j. M. Washburn, of Mitchell,
stating that the secretary of the inter-
ior had re-examined the contest case of
Wenner VS.. Dillon and had reversed
his decision. Thus Mr.. Dillon retains
a we'll earned and now valuable claim.
The contest was initiated over three
years ago, the local Office deciding for
contestant, the commissioner for
claimant and the secretary sustaining
the decision of the commissioner.
About three months ago Wenner
built a house on the claim, which
adjoins the town on the east and both
claimant and contestant have occupied
and cultivated the same claim this
spring. Mr.. Dillon's ndspetitioned
Lamar for rehearing and the result
is as stated above. The policy of the
administration is such that it seems
necessary frequently to countermand
the order to return the flags. Mr.. Dillon
was a Union soldier, his claim here in
Dakota was his entire worldly possess
IONS and he has earned it many times
over. 1t was contested on the grounds
of abandonment, but sickness in Mr..
Dillon's family and not intention to
abandon his claim was what kept him
from making settlement at the proper
time. Everybody here rejoices over
the final result.
